Those fender vents are my favorite design feature. I know they flare out wider than the standard fenders but not sure if the front bumper is wider as well or if the side pieces on the front bumper are just larger to match the front fender width.

interesting photo clearly different mirrors from the base GT3, paint appears to be metallic black and the passenger seat is different than the driver seat. Any thoughts that they are still evaluating seats or is this just because its a test mule?

The reason to like them is for aero, not looks. They need to be there to reduce frontend lift from the considerable rear down force generated by the huge wing. They look cool too, imo.

Totally agree with you rockitman, as far as them being a big function to the down force. I was just speaking from a visual not functional way.

Mule seats. I am sure the U.S. bound passenger RS LWB seats will have no provision for harnesses just like the current crop of MY '15 standard 3's

the fender vents look much larger then i expected. Very nice.
the passenger seat appears to have a child seat in it... something i could use.
Black is growing on me. FYI, if I do get a black RS i already called the plate "VADAR"

believe the color you're referring to is Iris Blue. Wasn't made for very long, I had a 1994 with that color, which was fantastic. I also had a 2000 PTS cab with that color. I've since gone white on all my 911's, but that color continues to haunt me, it had great travel. depending on the day, it would either be metallic blue, royal blue, purple or indigo.

agree based on he new pictures the mirrors look the same. The wing supports on my previous RS 3.8 and 4.0 aluminum these appear to be painted or different material?
